Oooh, nasty. You were rather unlucky to find any salt. It's all been washed off the roads around here. Plenty of potholes opening up though. I went for a ride today and I can only imagine it as being the same as a ride through Venice!

Well I am guessing its salt that has caused it , Like little pin spots of jellow substance that when washed off can see pitted marks

Sounds like salt. Where there little white fuzzy marks on the rim? A sure sign of alloy corrosion.

I always give the mtb's a good wash with a hose when I get home and before they go back in the garage. With the road bike, I tend to sling it on the work stand when I get home and once I've changed I give it a good clean with a rag and some GT85, including hubs, brakes, cable runs etc, but excluding the brake tracks of course

No salt on the roads around here, just debris washed down the road with all the rain

I remember it being a rubbish summer for rain, but I'm sure there were still a few days when the roads were dry enough.

You're right, it was a rubbish summer for rain.

We make our own hay, for the horses, and you need a week of dry weather to cut, dry, turn and bale it. We had one week in July, when the local farmer was too busy to get to our little 1.5 acres, and then another week in September when we just managed to get it done and stacked before it started raining again.

As you say, wet is fine, as long as there is no salt.

Down here it has been warm enough not to need salt, and wet enough to drown a fish
